$phpAds_random_retrieve
phpAdsNew can use four different types of banner retrieval: Random banner
retrieval (0, default), Normal sequential banner retrieval (1), Weight
based sequential banner retrieval (2) and Full sequential banner retrieval
(3).
For example, you have set 4 banners in phpAdsNew and the second banner
is weight 2 (rest of the banners is weight 1):
Random banner retrieval: 1312312331231231231232312314121312
Normal sequential banner retrieval: 1234 3214 4213 2314 3241
Weight based sequential banner retrieval: 12324 43122 31221 21342 42321
Full sequential banner retrieval: 1234 1234 1234 1234 1234
If you are using Zones, phpAdsNew will always use random banner retrieval
and this setting will be ignored.
$phpAds_con_key
phpAdsNew includes a powerful banner retrieval system. For more information,
please read the API section. With this option, you can activate conditional
keywords. This is turned on by default.
$phpAds_mult_key
For each banner, you can specify one or more keywords. This option is
needed if you want to specify more than one keyword. This is turned on
by default.
$phpAds_acl
If you are not using ACLs you can disable ACL checking with this parameter,
this will speed up phpAdsNew. If you have disabled ACLs with this parameter
you can't modify ACL settings from the admin interface.
$phpads_default_banner_url
$phpads_default_banner_target
If phpAdsNew can't connect to the database server, or can't find any matching
banners at all, for example when the database crashed or was deleted,
it won't display anything. Some users may want to specify a default banner,
which will be displayed in these situations. The default banner specified
here will not be logged and won't be used if there are still active banners
left in the database. Be aware this default banner should only be used
as a failsafe, not as a regular banner. This is turned off by default.
$phpAds_zone_cache
If you are using zones this setting allows phpAdsNew to store the banner
information inside a cache which will be used later on. The will speed
up phpAdsNew a bit, because instead of retrieving the zone information
and retrieving the banner information and selecting the right banner,
phpAdsNew only needs to load the cache. This feature is turned on by default.
$phpAds_zone_cache_limit
If you are using cached zones, the information inside the cache can become
outdated. Once in a while phpAdsNew needs to rebuild the cache, so new
banners will be included in the cache. This setting lets you decide when
a cached zone will be reloaded, by specifing the maximum lifetime of the
cached zone. For example: if you set this setting to 600, the cache will
be rebuild if the cached zone is older than 10 minutes (600 seconds).
The all zone caches will be automatically rebuild when a banner is deleted
or deactivated from the admin interface. Also changes to the zone settings
will result in a rebuild of the zone cache.
If you want to manually rebuild the zone cache you can do so in the Admin
Interface.
